This is the manual for the Manx Aztec C System for ProDOS on Apple //'s : ========================================================================= This software was released as (c) freeware by Phade Software Dec-1999 These are the original instructions, some of the work has already been finished for you. Specifically, the archive has been unpacked from the Phade archive. Under the MAN folder is the text file directories as mentioned below. Feel free to store the MAN folder wherever you want as long as you point the MANPATH environment variable. If you are using the AZTEC PLUS release you should use this reference instead of the one supplied. There may be text in the old version that you will want to keep. It is left as a project of the user to incorporate the old text into the new MAN. Again, thanks to Phade for releasing this software and taking the time to answer my e-mail. Phoenyx [Version 5.00] First compile the file UNCOMPRESS.C in the directory /AZTEC.MAN.1 . Then uncompress all files with the ending '.Z' like MAN.ARC.Z . Wildcards are allowed with the utility UNCOMPRESS. In CAT1.ARC are all man-pages for Aztec C function. In CAT2.ARC are all Aztec C utilities. Create a directory CAT and copy the file MAN.HEADER to it. Create seperate directories for CAT1 and CAT2 and copy the man-pages in the right one. Then unarc all archives with the ending '.ARC' with the system utility ARCV. Then compile the file MAN.C. Then you have to set the environment variable MANPATH to your directories CAT, CAT1 and CAT2, it will maybe look like this : /USR/MAN/CAT:/USR/MAN/CAT1:/USR/MAN/CAT2: ========================================================================= NAME man - electronic manual SYNOPSIS man [option] [keyword] /* Apple // Utility */ DESCRIPTION man is the electronic manual distributed on paper by Manx Software Systems P.O.
